Chapter 1232: Chapter 1231: Morgan’s Scheming

The barrier... disappeared?

The Morgan Leader and a group of deputy generals were instantly stunned.

The siege of Jiangnan has been going on for three days, so some energy shortages in the barrier seem quite normal. Their forces had encircled it tightly for so long, clearly showing results.

Thinking of this, Morgan became even more furious.

That fool!

If he hadn’t done those foolish things, now would be the perfect opportunity to attack and erode Jiangnan!

"Leader, what... should we do?"

Morgan hesitated. They were counting on a surprise attack, and if they missed this chance, allowing Jiangnan to react, the next time they attacked, they might face ambush en route, not smoothly encircling all water areas like now.

With Chen Qing’s abilities, he wouldn’t fall passively twice.

This time... they can’t just give up.

"Have the soldiers pause their retreat and release Dark Devour in several water areas!"

"Sir... this?" The deputy general hesitated. They had worked hard for three days, about to reap the rewards. They certainly didn’t want to retreat so easily, but releasing Dark Devour now...

"Would you rather we come here for three days and retreat dejectedly?" Morgan said coldly. "If Jiangnan doesn’t suffer, what’s the point of us coming here?"

"That bastard Joseph did such outrageous things. We have to go back. Even if he’s out of tune, the strength of the Death Legion is obvious. Without us, the other two families might not be his match, even if he breached the contract first."

"But if we’re going back, why use Dark Devour?" the other couldn’t help but ask.

Dark Devour is the most domineering plague, and any squad using it will be severely depleted. They’re about to rush back to support the other families. Isn’t it improper to use Dark Devour now?

"You know nothing!" Morgan angrily glanced at his foolish deputy. He wondered why, despite the noble Angsa bloodline, his descendants were so stupid.

"Jiangnan can’t hold on now. If we only release some ordinary virus, can we restrain them? Do you think Jiangnan has no strength? What if they attack us amidst our chaos?"

"Fool, only Dark Devour can cause chaos in Jiangnan, preventing them from caring about us. And if we quickly deal with that fool Joseph, we might even make it back to Jiangnan in time, understand?"

"Well..." The deputy general immediately understood his grandfather’s meaning. It seemed he had grand ambitions to return and deal with Joseph before swallowing Jiangnan!

"But... using Dark Devour will also affect our combat power when we go back..."

"How many days does it take to recover after using Dark Devour?"

"About five days... if we want to recover to the peak."

"That’s it!" Morgan sneered. "That fool Joseph can’t possibly wipe out the other two corps all at once, right? As long as he doesn’t, it’s a stalemate. When I return with soldiers at full strength, what will they do?"

"Well..." No need to think; they’ll choose Morgan Family as the main force, at least to exert more effort.

"This is the key!" Morgan smiled. "When we return, we can say we haven’t fully recovered because we used Dark Devour against Jiangnan. We never expected such a situation in the rear, rushing back in haste, in no state, needing recovery. In this situation, the War Corps must continue resisting with the Joseph Family, right?"

"Uh... I guess so." Several deputy generals nodded slightly.

"And as long as the War Corps depletes enough, after us and the Joseph Family, whose strength will remain better?"

"I see!" Everyone nodded, recognizing their grandfather’s massive ambition.

But among them were a few deputy generals with furrowed brows. They weren’t Morgan’s immediate line but were excellent officers selected from Digital City and gradually promoted, so they were the ones who did the real work.

"Sir, what if Jiangnan’s forces attack us as we retreat?" one tall white male removed his helmet and reminded, "Using Dark Devour, our capabilities will greatly reduce. If Jiangnan dares to strike at this moment..."

"Where would they get the forces?" Morgan shot a dismissive glance at these non-immediate outsiders. "Can he command those troops from Heaven at will? That group of cowardly Heavenly Soldiers, having them attack us, Chen Qing probably lacks that prestige."

The man was about to speak again but was cut off by Morgan impatiently waving his hand. "Enough, execute the order quickly; we don’t have much time!"

"Yes!" Most underneath were excited.

According to grandfather’s plan, it wouldn’t be long before they are the head of four families... oh, no, three families, because the fool Joseph Leader has done such things, being besieged by three families was justified, and from now on, there’ll be no Joseph Family.

"Yes..." Eventually, the white man who expressed doubts backed out.

He felt it extremely inappropriate, thinking the leader was overlooking things. Why did Jiangnan’s barrier suddenly break at this time?

Isn’t the timing too coincidental?

Hasn’t the leader considered this might be a trap?

It’s known that Chen Qing from Heaven can observe the situation below at any time. You think Chen Qing can’t command those soldiers above, are you so sure?

What if he can?

He didn’t know why, these leader-level figures were all endlessly confident, but sometimes what they do seemed somewhat foolish to him...

Hopefully not as bad as I thought, the worst-case scenario!

----------------------------------------------

"Good!"

Ziyue, watching everything clearly from heaven, beamed as the Plague Army used Dark Devour on the barrier they developed.

Introducing this plague into Jiangnan indeed bore significant risks because if it slipped into Jiangnan, the entire place would fall into chaos and terror, people’s faith would collapse, and Chen Qing’s soldiers would lose combat power.

The consequences would be severe, but circumstances reached this point, and oftentimes a daring move must be made.

Utilize the Law of Space to block those water flow areas, seal that Dark Devour plague.

Exploit the enemy’s negligence, at this moment!

"Divine General..." Ziyue turned to Three-Eyed. "It’s your time to strike!"

Three-Eyed bowed at these words. "Master’s plans never fail, truly remarkable. Rest assured, this attack will leave that dreadful legion completely exposed!"

"Of course, but Divine General, don’t recklessly take risks..."

Ziyue sincerely looked at the other, as the current top combat powers are very precious. Three-Eyed’s potential is immense, possibly greater than Ao Zhen, who possesses the Sword Dao Fruit. He must not be lost lightly.

Moreover, only he has enough prestige to command Heaven’s Court’s proud soldiers.

If they win this battle, Chen Qing’s prestige in Heaven’s Court can be established.

By then, even if Elder Long, the old trickster, is still alive, he won’t be able to return to Heaven’s Court!
